Critics Consensus

Neither scary nor funny, The Haunted Mansion is as lifeless as the ghosts in the movie.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Go on the Disney ride instead. It's over sooner. Rated: 1/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review BBC.com Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2004 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The cleverness is at a minimum; few things stand out as memorable or inventive or shocking. Rated: 5/10 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's an Abbott and Costello film without those likeable comedians, who had a great career in such dumb comedies. Rated: C Jul 29, 2023 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Writer David Berenbaum, who created the wonderfully subversive Elf, here produces a leaden script too scary for many youngsters and too moralising and saccharine for those over 10.

Nereyda Jaimes it was funny a great family movie to watch with the kids Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Benjamin S It’s first act was mostly dialogue and didn’t really make an effort to establish strong enough emotional motivation, display enough ghostly mischief, or meaningful character interactions. The second act feels like filler. The most it attempts to be entertaining in the first two thirds is a few cgi moments and relying on Tiffany Haddish doing Tiffany Haddish schtick. It becomes actually entertaining after the first hour. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review FAN It was fun to be swept away into this movie and never think about anything else! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review denise b This was a great family movie! I really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/23 Full Review Alexandre N A generic movie without much to remember. One of Eddie Murphy’s annoying role. The 2023 adaptation is much better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Ed R Nice attempt to stick to the Nostalgia of the ride. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
